Quiet please. War worker resting
A door-hanger sign, red and white stripes below a blue field, reads 'Quiet please' and 'War worker resting'. There is no figure or scene. The technique is faint: the flag colours and the words 'war worker' attach the request for household quiet to the war effort, a transfer.
